COLUMBIA -- Missouri saw record-setting lows, too much rain in some parts, not enough in others and it continued the nearly two-year trend of cooler than normal temperatures.
"The first three weeks of September had lower than normal temperatures, while the last week had a warm spell," said Pat Guinan, climatologist for University of Missouri Extension's Commercial Agriculture Program. "When you crunch the numbers, September is going to be about 1 degree below normal."
On the morning of Sept. 13, temperatures dropped into the upper 30s across all of northern Missouri and parts of central Missouri. Guinan says both St. Joseph and Kansas City reported a record low of 37 degrees.
